Student Volunteer Opportunities

Early-bird deadline: December 7, 2018

SSWR provides opportunities for students to “earn” their registration fee by volunteering at the SSWR Annual Conference. Volunteers assist with registration, monitor sessions (handout materials, count the number of attendees in each session, assist presenters with AV needs, sign CEU forms) and provide directions to attendees.

NEW for 2019. Please note that all Student Volunteers must be current SSWR members as of January 1, 2019. You may renew or join in 2018 for 2019 at www.sswr.org. If you do not know your member ID, please contact SSWR at info@sswr.org.

Student volunteers must attend a 1-hour, orientation session either Wednesday, January 16 at 6:00 pm, Thursday, January 17 at 6:00 pm, or Friday, January 18, 7:00 pm held at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square to receive their assignments.

Volunteers are expected to contribute 8 hours of time during the conference. Students who are also presenters may schedule their volunteer time so it does not conflict with their presentations.

Available Volunteer Times

Student volunteers must attend one of the orientation sessions either Wednesday, January 16 at 6:00 pm, Thursday, January 17 at 6:00 pm or Friday, January 18 at 7:00 pm held at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square to receive their assignments.

Please select at least 2, max of 4 possible shifts that you are available to volunteer; you will be assigned to two shifts. Volunteer times are first-come, first-served.
